Korrigeerimist

Korrigeerimist is the act or process of correcting errors or inaccuracies in a text, dataset, procedure, or other material. It stems from the verb korrigeerima, meaning to correct. The term describes identifying faults, assessing their significance, planning appropriate corrections, and implementing them, followed by verification. Korrigeerimist aims to restore accuracy, consistency, and reliability, and can involve factual updates, typographical fixes, or methodological adjustments.

In publishing and editing, korrigeerimist refers to making corrections to a manuscript or published material, including factual changes, terminology adjustments, and refinements of style. In data management and information systems, korrigeerimist covers cleaning and updating datasets, correcting missing or inconsistent values, and aligning data with authoritative sources. In software development and artificial intelligence, korrigeerimist can mean patching defects, updating training data, or adjusting outputs based on feedback, all while maintaining an audit trail.

The process usually comprises several steps: error detection, evaluation of impact, planning of corrections, implementation, and verification or validation.
